AIR WicklifTe held that it was no precedent
for the Democ tacy nf Louisiana because in
the national committee in this State the
chairman Of tLr STATE committee arrugates
liz iigbf tn sppoint a tempoTaTy chairman.
IA held that tGe power to ali vacancies exists

Thig committed, Either Mr. Young had the
Tigbt 10 apDoint or he had not The right to
sppoiut. III he had the right, 3 ratification
n not necessary: il not I deem ii proper
that this committee should rebuke his action
as IiEIlrDatipn Of authority.
TIE sneaker next spoke Of the powers Of
Col Young, and explained them at length,
which he concluded by saying: 'tSngPOse,
Mr. Chairman / had authorized Mr.. Young
q horse, and he goes and picks out horse
BaHl gives it to you, and you took it off, and
two or three years afteTgard that horse dies,
il Air. Young goes back 10 gly pasture aIId
takes another horse that will be horsc-steal-
ing."
Mr.. Adams asked MF. Wickltffe If he had
been instructed to furnish Mr.. JetiTies nj
teen horses, and keep him furnished with fit-
Ken OF his hurres all the time, and one died,
chat srguld lac do 10 carry out HE insEEno-
,ions.
Mr.. WIcklifls lodged the question by say
ing that the resolution does not provide for
the horse dying, and lie went over the same
grounds a. before regarding the power OF
appointment.
Mr. Adams submitted TO Mr. Wicklifie,
Suppose st. Landry instead Of having
AcadiR taken from it should have been en-
lRrged, absorbing another parish what Wo1lr

Mr. Wipkliffe said thai thst had nothing t,

man gOes outside nt the case and states
ease tbat has no bearing on the case at ba
SheB he adults that he has no case. II

Mr.. liersuu said that he felt grieved Al be
